UDP deputy administrative secretary Oley Dibba Wadda has come under fire for saying there is no such thing as right or wrong.
Mrs Dibba in a tweet insisted there is no right or wrong as she attempted to defend UDP’s decision on accepting Lamin Babadinding Jobarteh as member.
“There is no such thing as right or wrong. What one perceives as right might be viewed otherwise by another. To err is human no one is perfect and that’s ok. We continue to learn, unlearn and relearn and that’s ok too. Life is a classroom. We can choose to see things as illusion or real,” Mrs Dibba said in her September 28 tweet.
US-based Sainey Darboe was among the first express shock at Mrs Dibba’s comments.
The journalist reacted: “It’s absolutely shocking seeing a top UDP hack saying ‘there’s no right or wrong’. Killing innocent human beings is wrong. Pilfering from the public purse is wrong. Callous and cruel disregard for human life is wrong.
“It’s not okay for UDP to embrace a known human rights abuser and try to rationalize it.I called bull sh*t.Long suffering Gambians need a better government than a party that puts their lives and resources at risk.”
Ahmad Manjang of Team Essa Faal was also not impressed and he said: “These lot are going to give us a very long hard summer, from religious bigotry to canonization of alleged human right abusers and now there is no such thing as right or wrong. Now I know why everything goes in some camps, the circus continues.”
NPP’s Ahmed Gitteh said: “UDP wooo UDP. Your people in charge have no character of integrity. They just speak and change positions as an when it favors them.
“This Oley would have been the president of our country and then she will ask us to about all of our laws since the laws of Gambia has in it clear definition of dos and donts. RIGHTS & WRONGS.”
